Job Description & How to Apply Below
Position: Estimator - Highways / Surfacing

The Opportunity

This isn't a box-ticking Estimator role.

This is for someone who understands how surfacing work is won, priced, and delivered - and wants to be part of a business where their input actually matters.

You'll be working closely with senior leadership on a range of surfacing and highways projects, taking ownership of tenders from initial inquiry through to submission.

If you're currently pricing work but feel stuck, under pressure, or lacking progression - this is worth a conversation.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Preparing accurate cost estimates for surfacing and highways projects
  • Reviewing drawings, specifications, and tender documentation
  • Pricing works across asphalt, civils, and associated packages
  • Liaising with suppliers and subcontractors for quotations
  • Supporting bid submissions and commercial strategy
  • Working alongside operations to ensure realistic and deliverable pricing

What They're Looking For

  • Experience in estimating within surfacing, highways, or civil engineering
  • OR a strong Quantity Surveyor with pricing/tendering exposure
  • Good understanding of asphalt / road construction projects
  • Ability to interpret drawings and technical documentation
  • Commercial awareness and attention to detail

Why This Role?

  • Less red tape than Tier 1 contractors
  • Opportunity to work on a variety of projects
  • A business where your work directly impacts success

The Reality

Good Estimators in this market aren't actively applying for jobs.

If you're even slightly open to hearing what's out there - it's worth a confidential conversation.
